“Island Party Boat exceeded my expectations! Our favorite part of cruising with Island Party Boats is that there's no annoying announcements or tour. Just sit back, chat with your friends, grab a drink at the short line, and enjoy! Sunday was deemed Sunday funday."

"Rented a boat for a family day out and we were not disappointed. It was just us on the boat with a very friendly captain who let me kids have a hand at the wheel. He played great music throughout, told us what he was doing and the process of booking was very simple and easy."
